Maybe you don't understand it, what keeps them awake at night
What goes through their little minds when you turn off the light? Always having to say sorry tears are stained on the pillow Like the light of the moon they can't be one Can't exist without the son Let's think clearly for a while Can he shine without a smile? Why am I alone with no one to be found? Looks like they know what's best for me Why doesn't anybody like me, I don't understand? Guess I'll have to crawl inside and I don't know why I'm sitting by myself, when the problem isn't mine Been around the block a few times, been beat up by all his friends Learing life is like a maze that never seems to end Like an open book, blank pages left for only him to write Life is short this chapter takes so long Can't tell the right from the wrong It's so hard for you to place An expression on his face Why am I alone with no one to be found? Looks like they know what's best for me Why doesn't anybody like me, I don't understand? Guess I'll have to crawl inside and I don't know why I'm sitting by myself, when the problem isn't mine Why doesn't anybody like me, I don't understand Why my friends and family left me At six years old he won't be taught a meaning to this mess He'll just have to take a guess, and make his own plan And we'll never see the child that was forced to be a man |

It's 2:37 pm I want to go to the store to buy some sunflower seeds
in case I got nothing to do tonight I like kids So I'm walking to the store and the neighbor's kid runs into me with a tricycle After I kicked the brat off the bike I walk into a pile of shit After that I hit my head on a stop sign so I cross the street and stumble into the store I feel like shit, I live in a ditch. My life is hell; my house smells It's 3:14 as I get into the store Walking down the frozen food section I touch the frozen burritos I pass the deli department and put my fingers in some free sample cheese dip I finally see the sunflower seed aisle There it is. The gleamy view My savory nighttime entertainment He never has any friends He doesn't care about what happens If you see him walking down the street then hide your kids and toss the key There is a guy they call him the weirdo He went to the store to buy sunflower seeds I know a guy and they call him the weirdo He doesn't care about you or me! |

There is a man I know
Who lives across the street Every time I sit down at the table He surveys what I eat He's watching out for crime To happen any time He's always minding someone's business And the business is usually mine He's making sure that I don't have fun Because he lives alone He's watching in the darkness of his home... WATCHING YOU, WATCHING ME Six remote controls So he can sit back on his ass and watch the world from his perch by the window, on the other side of the glass He says he's looking out for me but why can't he just see? Just because he has nobody He has to bother me...Watching me!!! |

Buildings will replace the trees
Pollution will replace the air we breathe I'm close to the mountain, just miles away But I can't see the hills from here today We can't just let it pass us by And as I look into the sky Something in the atmosphere is telling me it won't be here for long Take a picture of this place cos extinction is not so far away Our skin will fry like a steak well done When there's nothing between us and the sun We can't just let it pass us by And as I look into the sky Something in the atmosphere is telling me it won't be here for long Until it's gone - Until it's gone Until it's gone - We'll never miss it until it's gone, gone, gone All the efforts seem to fall With cars and cans of aerosol I feel so guilty, then my pride will die When I see the grey, self-created sky Until we find a better way We'll have to learn from all our big mistakes Something in the atmosphere is telling me it won't be here for long Until it's gone - Until it's gone Until it's gone - Until it's gone You'll never miss it until it's gone, gone, gone Seems like a letter that we cannot send Fells like aluminum we cannot bend Tastes like a mixture that we cannot blend But we must change the course of the recipe to the end, to the end |

I see you have lost the ambition to love
When did you get so hard and callous? Things are good today But I think I've had enough Here comes the part where you turn off the switch Everyone's dumb, Taking the wind out of your sails Victory claimed, this is your song How will you sleep when you're alone, when they are gone? Over and over just like a broken toy Heard all exuses, what makes you do it? You pedal back for miles, just to claim your prize He is the exit, to your home built on lies Nothing is true How can you expect them to stay? Undefeated, who did you burn? Cannot be taught, everyone's hurt, nothing is learned. |

Oh, what a line for me to start this song You may be sleeping by an open door and ... You may be saying that these words are wrong. Take a look at my new toy It will blow the head off of a boy Truth hits everybody, truth hits everyone. You had me thinking in a backwards motion You use no Scope to smell you daddy's breath She does not choose to use no suntan lotion If you don't like the words, then you can guess Where you want to be, can't you ever see? |

Well it's been a long time
Since I learned about the bridge I try sneaking by But it's my feelings that I pay with (Chorus) Tired of giving, tired of caring On the tollbridge, I'm forced to pay my way Some may try to slide right by Thinking life's just a free ride I wanted everything for free But I know it will never be Have no money to pay with And it seems that the bridge is closed Humble feelings, eating crow Better try another road (Chorus) Tired of giving, tired of caring On the tollbridge, I'm forced to pay my way Some may try to slide right by Thinking life's just a free ride I wanted everything for free But I know it will never be You have got to show control There's so much you've got to know As I cross the bridge I watch my step Better get out of here Gotta pay my dues, wanna earn respect Next time I hope that they don't refuse (Chorus) Tired of giving, tired of caring On the tollbridge, I'm forced to pay my way Some may try to slide right by Thinking life's just a free ride I wanted everything for free But I know it will never be |

Remember these words
'I'll never let you down' 'You are my friend and you can talk to me' so why am I? (so why am I?) still standing all alone that's not the way that it's supposed to be Chorus: Thorn in my side talk about me, kiss my ass thorn in my side I felt it jabbing the first time that you lied deep inside You gave me silence, I tried to talk to you I got denied and tried to think it through you had no reason, I saw no warning sign you think I'll stick around, you must be on glue Chorus So now I'm thinking, you'll turn your back on me the second you find a better place to be it's in our nature to hurt each other I'll never find my place in this world of greed |

Staring out the window she sees glimpses of last night
And everyone is silent but speaking through their eyes Walking to the bus stop where the court of judges wait To sentence her to live her life Like she should always be ashamed Been around so many times it wears out what you are Accepting sarcasm and false sincerity As words that people mean Rejection redefined by giving up just what they're after Someone would tell you If they could speak above all this laughter Think you would learn somehow the time just isn't now Got a reputation now and no one's holding back Wearing scars on your sleeve, so exposed to their attack All her friends have pulled the plug on respect and reserve Behind her back they prey on weakness It's not what you deserve Shot down, humiliated, pummeled by their words Devoted you lay down with misplaced loyalty Its misery you seek No longer called by name when everybody's got your number When dignity is gone That's when depression drags you under To depths you didn't know beneath and under No longer called by name when everybody's got your number When dignity is gone That's when depression drags you under To depths you didn't know beneath the undertow |

Another morning and I'm awake
The same old thing on a different day I want to drive but my tank is dry But the ground is wet with rain Greedy people are pushing me Needy people in misery It's a push & shove community But how the hell can I complain On the other side of town People are sleeping on the ground Look not far and you will find A tragedy, the daily grind Seems like when the times are tough That hope is down and the price goes up There's not enough jobs to fill a cup And the streets are filled with shame Here I am in a traffic jam And ugly faces stare me down They call this the right side of town But still I can't complain On the other side of town People are sleeping on the ground Fighting wars that can't be won Twelve year-old boy with a gun Look not far and you will find A tragedy, the daily grind |

Try to believe the words that you said to me are true but something else assures me I'm not through been denied so many times and so I'm told to sit back and ignore the truth, enjoy the ride Never took a hand with her to school take a guess then tell us who's the fool and you're not supposed to be my responsibility maybe someday you'll regain your pride and realize life is too short not to try...

Here's another, drink to cover,
Every word you say. Fine excuses, It wasn't you then, Sorry, my mistake. So here comes the part, Where the stunt double plays. You ask somebody else to take the fall and blame. Building bridges, Playing with matches, Burning yourself down. Find the exit, Before they get it, Take the easy way out. So here comes the part, Where your stunt double plays, You have somebody else I think we imitate. Here comes the part where your stunt double plays, You ask somebody else to take the fall and blame. |

I can pretend for you, that I mean every word said it's true
That I'd probably rather be like a stranger in disguise And act as if nothing ever.. Died or faded away, got lonelier with age And time isn't on our side I'm sorry to take the thoughts that keep you awake And make it seem like they're overrated You certainly talk about me more when I fall down And when I get up, my time is never enough Loved in front behind my back hated I guess it has everything to do with luck I can defend the truth but I sound like white noise to my friends As I raise my glass to you In a stupor we speak words That couldn't be more honest Lies we lived before are fights without a war I'm dead when it's in your head I'm starting to think that all the buoys we sink Are cutting our chances of being saved I see that the end is all we have to let us know I'd like to believe in something more than a dream For when the will to be one has faded I guess the truth will soon be deceived My friend that isn't there, My solitaire. |

It's so silent I can almost hear you walk Down the hall standing in front of that window If heaven is so high, then why are you so low? Does it feel, that you're taking back the love that made him real In the darkness you will always see his face And I could never take the place of him Today I'm sleeping in Woke up it's too late and I should be in school There's always something wrong when you ignore the rules Never want to see myself in front of that window Sucking up your tears, didn't want to let me know too much Reaching out your hand for one last touch Take me with you, everybody here is fake And I don't wanna feel the same when you give in In a lifetime, time will always take our place But I will lay here shielded from the pain This is a long time from today You gave me all that I could take And gave me strength to carry on In the darkness, you will always see his face And I don't wanna be there when you do, give in In a lifetime, time will always take our place And I will lay here shielded from the pain I do whatever I want, you never let me down I always know when lost somehow you're found Although life has all thse consequences now And that's OK, and that's OK |

Out be the ounce the drugs and alcohol was free Or maybe it was your imagination Friend of the family but now the foe She gets inside your mind with everything you smoke That's why your conspiracy comes from some words she spoke The rain is controlled by misty Who's one but feels like three She always has to be behind every little problem I face I'd drive to Ireland but there's a lake between the land She hired private eyes to follow me Maybe I'll go to Paris and France And meet the Pope and someone to be with for life A place far away where she could never find us here Everything bad is a "misty" She's hiding in that tree I'm swimming at the beach and she's got submarines and high technology She runs my life and in my dreams at night And everywhere I go I'm always six degress, from misty |

Back in history in the roaring 20's there was a law called prohibition
No one was to drink or make alcohol Today in the 90's we have a new law People getting mugged by strung out junkie thugs Legalize Drugs People getting shot and you know it's over pot Legalize Drugs. Drugs. Legalize Drugs. History repeats that sure is the truth But does America learn from its not so distant past We have a new problem facing us today Let's take the opportunity and blow it all away People spreading AIDS because of addictive ways Legalize Drugs People needing crack might just stab you in the back Legalize Drugs. Drugs. Legalize Drugs. So now you might be saying Drugs are for losers I don't really care about the substance abusers But one day when you come home and all your things are gone you might change your mind and learn to sing this song Now let's get one thing straight, we want to let you know We're not telling you to do Drugs before or after the show We want to put an end to the murders and the crimes We believe that people should use their own minds! |

What's wrong with everyone? There's a panic in their eyes
Like others getting close are aliens, in disguise They smell conspiracy on the lips of dearest friends Reminds me of a time long ago, They think it's the end Of what we all created, used to love but now we hate it Life is as simple as the mind it lives in The truth is a waste of time, when we're conditioned to understand Lies are the right was as we watch the blind leading the blind Everything that we see is another's suffering Learn to enjoy the message the TV is delivering You're safe being the glass like being at the zoo The face of guilty thoughts turns around and looks just like you Don't want be another, victim but you watch them suffer Organized, de-sensitized and trained To wake up at 6 AM, go to work come home and in bed by ten When the feeling is safe and warm Horrified by any change, living by consensus destroys us Paints pretty pictures at the same time will do us more harm |

Just drop the present on the shelf, by the flowers And make the feeling go away Looking back I can't recall, who was listening When I used to walk the streets at night Like a bird that used to sing, I was flying I was happy all the time, and it's hard to look back Better days and different ways I can't explain Another song to sing it all was simplified Don't know what it's about, what have I learned to live without? It takes a day to live a life I can't believe the way the world is so different Look what the lines in my face have made Living in my bed I'm right next to the road The one that goes the other way, takes me to a different place Did you know, that I was just as young as you I had a job, a home, a family, and a car Did you say that yesterday or just right now?

(T. Sly/C. Shiflett/M. Riddle/R. Koff)
Covered up your insecurities with everything showing everyone exactly how you think mad no difference, I can see right through your best disguise you look like someone else, it doesn't matter where you hide You wanna empty clips on everyone around and burn their fortress to the ground Socializing makes you sick from drinking everything and if looks could kill we'd surely all be dead maybe sticks of dynamite would solve your problems now underneath my feet, was it something that I said? You wanna empty clips on everyone around and burn their fortress to the ground Someday soon you'll have your way and everyone will leave you all alone you laugh at everyone's mistakes, trapped inside a mind you call home You wanna empty clips on everyone around and burn their fortress to the ground |

Hey, can I borrow that?
I promise I'll give it back next time. But take a good look at it, you'll never see it again. I'll steal anything just as long as it's collectible. But if you steal something better than me, I'll turn you in. Yes, we are record thieves. Existing to please ourselves. If you invite us in, keep watch on you record shelves. If we can't have it, no one can. So if you have something we want, we'll ask to borrow it for |

Looking, laughing, talking all your shit
Wondering if you live your life just so you can fit Could it be real Or you're a fake Nobody's that way ... Give me a fucking break No recognition is what we should give to people like this that tell me how to live The ones who criticize, they gossip and they smile, the people that live the way that they decide This is not a puppet show No one in the world is hanging on a string Take a look around, there are people everywhere They might be doing circles but it's their own thing. |

You were living your life like an angel
Did everything that your life said Now you changed your life intentions Ran away from home and shaved your head You were tired of living your life Restricted under your parents wings The weight of the world is on your shoulders You're not running from anything... NOW YOU'RE ON YOUR OWN FAR AWAY FROM HOME You go out at night and thrash To make points on the punk point graph Trying to prove a point to your family Living in a car with a gold spoon in your mouth You get sick, the dirt is thick You return to home where the showers are always free...

I see you clinging, stereotyping just to feel comfort, just to belong
Desperate for meaning to make sense of your life Let me try to make you understand... You got it wrong You're not gonna catch me waving flags over my head Looking straight and standing tall I refuse to build the wall by adding my own bricks That separate us all I'd rather die than be a part of your pride This ain't the homeland they've written books on Never have been there, how would you know Following footsteps that will get you nowhere And living by some rules that were made up one hundred years ago You're not gonna find me digging through my family tree Just to find out who I am I don't need to know that I'm linked to some murderer To live on the same land I'd rather die than be a part of your pride So it looks like I'll be here for a long time now Some things are better left mysteries Can't change the future when living in the past So do what you want and I'll decide my own history |

A knock at the door I open it up in comes the queen
All dressed to perfection awaiting reception but in my mind one thought to flee The look in her eye has crossed paths with mine and stills the last time we met Suppression has started like last when we parted I wish she would just stay away. She's just a power bitch That I already know She's just a power bitch Straight from the depths below She's just a power bitch Domination her game She's just a power bitch I think I'm going insane Now she comes in, flashes the grin seals the door just like my fate Off with her clothes, stone cold I am froze out comes the beast from within Whipping and slashing, kicking and slapping a girl I can't handle, I hope this is all just a dream She's just a power bitch. |

She was corruption when I was destruction
I'm seein' through her eyes like cellophane It used to be I'd see her face and feel so small Now the only face I see is the picture I'm throwing darts at on the wall Where did she go? When loneliness is all I had to show If I couldn't trust her then, who could I trust? The pillow is wet with tears and permanent rust Just when I thought I was out of the dark I'm holding her tight and she breaks the light She was dead in my mind, but her ghost is still around It comes back to haunt me, it doesn't want me It just happened to be passing through my town It took so long to realize the truth I resent every word I said... That's when I knew, one and one don't make two! I knew that sleepless night when she never came home She's probably drinking somewhere knowing I'm alone The road to nowhere is a long winding street Maybe someone will be there at the end, But it won't be me! |

Can't help my self I'm not your savior, I'm not who you want me to be A cowardly mistake I've made so many times before, refusing to break Cut my losses ties them with you, like a good boy I'll pretend And promise not to do it again Do you remember when, life was so simple and permanent? Everyone's changed, "Everyone's cool", Everyone sucks But I can't seem to complain, Exciting and new is just not there You're getting scared I'm not your savior, never thought I was anyway I'm a void with empty promises that backs out late Never said I'd change, taking back the words that we spoke Like a fuel tank running dry, you'll believe it when I choke |

She was done before the start, always mending broken hearts Making others miserable not knowing who she's hurting Father said, "This day will be, one for everyone to see" Is it true you'll follow suit and have you learned a thing? It's just a selfish way to go, it's safe to say she'll never know For every person there's a whole life story waiting to be told When she is happy it's OK, but then these people start to fade Then we'll just watch her self-destruct as she gets old She put up defensive shields, to walk through all of life's minefields All defined by make-up and a car behind she's hiding "Father do you have to go, left me questions I dont know" Any answers or even close the life time lie was true She's gonna move on with her life, and take it one heart at a time And watch the little girl inside her wait behind as she goes on But with this black heart she decides, who she'll take in and shove aside Until the day she sees that everyone is gone Getting used to people leaving, thinking true love is deceiving Soon she'll know how lonely it can be Now was it really worth the pain? A couple pills make her feel sane While she lives out the story written for the part she is to play With so much shame for her to hide, there's no more dignity, no pride Then there will only be dark in her light of day And she will only see a reflection, of her father's rejection Nothing will change until she breaks this life, this life-size mirror |

And you don't deserve this Lies can't pretend, just another way of thinking People can change when it seems they're not there for you Truth cannot lie, never heard a better word that trust Yes it's in you, know that it's true and right Let me count the ways that I feel so sorry When it rains it drains the spirit dry We all have our mishaps, misfortunes, misopportunities And the strength to carry on consider yourself free...

It's been a long time since I've dealt with you The complaining and moaning and bitching and groaning Laughing and hating and silence and frustration It's been a long time and I'm not about to let it happen again Why is that you persist My only reaction can be to resist, You enter my life and only cause strife It's been one time to many I've had it! What can I do with you These times are too hard for me to see through Why is it always the same Your existence alone drives me insane When I look around you're always there hounding me No matter what I do, it seems that I can't break free Won't let it happen again That's right, I need some room to breathe So I act mean to make you leave, but you don't understand! |

This conversation sickens me please let me out, I'll take the bus and though I try to understand, I didn't know how can you say that I'm a fool when all I do is help well I guess I'm a fool but I know that I'm not you pawn that feeling is dead and gone Pretend your invincible and no one can save you from yourself pretend you're a super hero, a fucking zero trying to save the world Please don't remind me of the past it's much too late to work it out and though I see the positive, I hear the doubt go off and hide your lie away, these words are obsolete and I'm crazy to think that you can wake up and come around the silence is made with sound Pretend you're invincible, there's no one to tell you that it's wrong they're all just as scared as I am, it's over someday soon it wont be long |

emergency dispatch i think something's wrong
with words its so hard to construe the images follow a dream through a song the nightmare has finally come true rhetorical speeches are made on the screen to shut us up and rest assure an obviously panicked media machine is testing the will of a country so unsure mission complete we lost control suddenly frightened by it all to put it simply we will never be the same there is no redemption in this war so please don't forget what this is for cause that's how our history is made security caught with their hands in the air the lock on the gate was destroyed now everyone rises from the lassiez faire we can empty the cup but we cannot fill the void without an enemy to kill the blood of the innocent is spilled to put it lightly we are not one and the same prepare yourself for disaster now so few are sane here anyhow i realize that words don't justify the pain set up the guillotine and televise the execution we have to ask ourselves, can we feel safe? you can't spell believe without lie |

Money makes the world go round,
in every city and every town Everybody has to work But no one gets what they deserve The IRS and Uncle Scam have manufactured a master plan to profit off all our hard work! I DETEST the IRS for taking money our of our paychecks They got our number and they know what we make They're always trying to get a slice of the cake The profit and money means a better way of living life The American dream, I don't know about you, but maybe for them The IRS is not for me. |

There's an oddity running down the stream
everybody's buying those C.F.C's as the story unwinds it just gets sadder cause every store is selling that extraneous matter we have no tools to fix the hole in the sky told by the fools that you're the reason why paper or plastic, diesel or unleaded It doesn't stop humanity from where it is headed THEY ALWAYS LIE ABOUT IT, BUT WE ALWAYS SEEM TO FIND IT IN THE AIR (just tell me why) WE ALWAYS TRY TO FIGHT IT, WHEN MENDACIOUSLY THEY HIDE IT EVERYWHERE (hole in the sky) THEY ALWAYS LIE ABOUT IT, BUT WE ALWAYS SEEM TO FIND IT IN THE AIR(just tell me why) AND WHEN YOU TRY TO FIGHT IT, JUST REMEMBER WHO DECIDES IT IF YOU CARE (hole in the sky) |

Just read an article on clogging arteries
Renewed subscription to my health food magazine Don't wanna die young, paranoid about the future I'm only 19 and I'm a health food connoisseur Right now I'm sitting in a room I could be lying in a box if I don't eat right Some people tell me what is good and bad for me I don't trust anyone but health food magazine Mom makes me food that sucks and I refuse to eat Lock myself in my room, lose thirty pounds a week Stay locked in your room all day, Your warped imagination Stacks of books are piled high, with useless information Let your anxiety tell you what is good and bad for you Let paranoia tell you what to do You always say that it's a hazard to your health Why don't you put your fucking fear back on the shelf Because the only hazard I see, the only hazard I see The only hazard I see is yourself Signed a petition to get smokers out of here I got the figures on second hand smoke death rate every year Can't go outside my room, you know I just can't leave I'm too afraid that I will get some weird disease My doctor tells me I'm a hypochondriac He claims he can help me, but he'd stab me in the back Been all around my room, There's nothing good to eat Health magazine with ketchup is my new delicacy |

She loves him just enough, to be lad there
Spread eagle exposing her love Her sighs and moans meant nothing to him But a girl must do what she must do. Hail To The King And his court of love Was it love? Or self-imposed lust. Hey, it's not your duty to me I'm just a boy, not a king It never felt right from the start Speak to me, I'll understand Now it's over and in the past About the future, should we laugh? Regret it, try hard to forget it Learn by our mistakes and try not to forget. |

He doesn't know what's wrong it's been this way for much too long and nothing could be easier than blaming this on her kicking in the womb she brings in up he leaves the room walk away all he has to say you got what you deserve It's your fault I don't think that it's even mine and I guess there's not much in his little mind it's a shame when it happens everyday He doesn't stop to think that every bottle that he drinks is just an additive to ignorance hence problems that exist lay down on the bed and dream of glory days instead not egocentric attitudes solved problems with a fist I don't understand why he can get so mad she don't want it either but it's too late dad it's not right and I doubt next time I'll think twice Pretend that they're lovers but she feels like slave how could I even know? She's sinking to the bottom and he can't feel her pain too late 'cause the seeds were sown |

Picked up a flyer just the other day
My favorite band was coming here to play Last time they were here no one broke the silence I hope this time it doesn't turn into a soundtrack for violence Hanging out in the parking lot and everybody's here There's the straight edge guys and they're pounding beer Skaters poppin' ollies and skinheads talkin' shop But here come the nazis at the end of the block GET OUT OF THIS TOWN!!! It's packed in this sweatbox as the band begins to blare A swarming mass of tattoos, muscles, baldness, and hair But now there's a target it's a fascist attack Twenty on one, they know he won't fight back GET OUT OF THIS TOWN!!! Got to get out, gotta get out gotta get out of this town There's more of us than them but we still don't intervene The hatred of only a few wrecks everybody's scene We can overcome their racist shit if everyone's involved The power of many can crush their few and the problem will be solved GET OUT OF THIS TOWN!!! |

I can't even think of words to match the way I'm feeling
I don't even think a book could say enough for you I can only try my best, to put it in a song I guess You try to speak, I know you tell the truth If I could freeze our small amount of time together Then we could make believe this world would never end (make believe this world would never end) Unfortunately truth is cold So you stay young while I get old But always know, I'm your best friend Nothing is the same Everything is a better change Sometimes I see silence in your eyes Let it all crash down When it ends it begins with you I'm gonna learn every time you do And I'm as scared as anybody who has done this I wouldn't give it up for nothing free You took my life, turned it around And put my feet back on the ground I owe you, eternally Nothing is the same Everything is a better change Sometimes I see silence in your eyes Let it all crash down When it ends it begins with you I'm gonna learn every time you do I'm always I'm always I'm always here I'm always I'm always I'm always here Nothing is the same Everything is a better change Sometimes I see silence in your eyes Let it all crash down When it ends it begins with you I'm gonna learn every time you do |

How many people, how many have died?
I'm feeling lucky and afraid at the same time How many times have you sat home and wondered why? We always hear about the U.S.A., but not the other side In fileds of agony everybody dies How many humans, how many does it take? We get a cedar box, they get a body rake How many lives does it take before we can end this war? Bring Johnny home soon, he forgot what the fuck that they were fighting for In fields of agony I don't wanna die or be sent home on a cargo plane A tag on my toe without my name because I'm one of a million A million... How many weapons, how many do we need? What about the economy, what about the economy? You'll be the hero at the end of your catastrophe It can't be stopped with unity, with collaboration of you and me And human dignity In fields of agony ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |

Felix was a little cat
He had a little magic sack He used it in his time of need, to run from pain But Felix was a little cat And we are people, that's a fact We can't bail out like a toon Let's face the world It's our mistake We should try and relate and know that what is done is done by hand of fate Searching for a reason to live But we're too tired to give About the state of mind that drives us all to hate |

It used to be easy to listen to people
And take everything with a grain of salt But now that I'm older I still hear voices I do not wish to be involved I don't want to be involved With the incinerator anymore that lifestyle is such a bore Find the door I want to leave this place Can't take it anymore Locked in a room and The flames are burning down around me And now I see the door But I won't find a key It's kinda sad but i'll never find A better place to be I'm not feeding the fire anymore It makes me want to keep it locked inside You got the gasoline but I don't have a light I wanna hang out it's not a good time I'd rather be somewhere that I could find People that don't live off the words That are said by someone else Cause talking shit is so bad for your health |

It taught you a lesson, how to be afraid
And how to understand your life is not a game It's more than a lesson, now you can learn no more from love Even with that wisdom in your mind, there's still that Poison in your blood You wouldn't touch the breakfast that I made for you How could you lie? Losing weight, you look afraid, you're scaring me I wonder why? Victim of envionment, I cannot stand aside and watch you die Everyday you went to school trying to maintain your cool With people sitting far away from you No lesson learned here, prejudice prevails You're an outcast to the ignorance of other people's metal jails Soon you'll be free, yo ucan live again, my friend Darkness is better than this life you live Sympathy I give to you, that is all I can do I'm sorry that you're stuck here with this fatal flu There's not much I can do They taught you a lesson, how to stay away Victim of your solitude, one out of ten And one was you, victim of society's Incurable disease, the fatal flu ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |

It was Christmas Eve babe
In the drunk tank An old man said to me, won't see another one And then he sang a song The Rare Old Mountain Dew I turned my face away And dreamed about you Got on a lucky one Came in eighteen to one I've got a feeling This year's for me and you So happy Christmas I love you baby I can see a better time When all our dreams come true They've got cars big as bars They've got rivers of gold But the wind goes right through you It's no place for the old When you first took my hand On a cold Christmas Eve You promised me Broadway was waiting for me You were handsome You were pretty Queen of New York City When the band finished playing They howled out for more Sinatra was swinging, All the drunks they were singing We kissed on a corner Then danced through the night The boys of the NYPD choir Were singing "Galway Bay" And the bells were ringing out For Christmas day You're a bum You're a punk You're an old slut on junk Lying there almost dead on a drip in that bed You scumbag, you maggot You cheap lousy faggot Happy Christmas your arse I pray God it's our last I could have been someone Well so could anyone You took my dreams from me When I first found you I kept them with me babe I put them with my own Can't make it all alone I've built my dreams around you |

Yesterday becomes tomorrow leaves you wanting more
So intricate becomes the bathroom floor And even though you're in a ditch you dig a deeper hole And I feel like I'm a shovel cause it's out of my control Promised a change, didn't hear a word from you Don't hold me back The exit isn't somewhere in my heart A promise of pain, we're back to the start The reason that I still persist it's obvious I care Been waiting by a door with no one there It seems like you are locked inside my key don't fit no more And you're walking on the land mines you laid down before Promised a change I didn't hear a word from you Don't hold me back The exit isn't somewhere in my heart A promise of pain, we're back to the start |

So many different things you can do with your life
So many different things if you have the time Give a little more, give it your best shot On the right track you can't be stopped All the things I said that I would do All the brilliant ideas that slipped right through Sometimes we got to get on and climb aboard But I was one day late and a dollar short Don't miss the train, don't miss the train Don't miss the train, don't miss the train Don't miss the train, don't miss the train Don't miss the train, don't miss the train It could be the only chance we have Have you ever sat and thought about other things? Living on the street, hanging by a string Letting people take away your name Letting people push you into your grave What you gotta do is stand up for what is yours Breaking all the barricades, smash the doors If the chance comes around to save your life Remember, opportunity doesn't always knock twice The decision is ntirely up to you So don't watch the train just pass right through There is another time that you will meet in life But the second visit won't be nice So now you're walking in your sorrow on lonely tracks Hoping for the day the train will come back Light on in the tunnel just up ahead The train is back but now you're dead...TOO LATE |
